One of the discoveries I made some years past...while actively channeling for someone.....was my thoughts were coming from a subtle 'wavelength' of information because I had experience 'in kind'.....with that person.....not exactly.....but parallels which once noticed....were so glaring they could not be ignored.
It was as if I'd dipped into their memories and through tapping that 'keg' I found the things they needed to redress from their past. Up until that time I struggled to define what exactly happened to me when I channeled and how it worked. As a result I began seeing all encountered images of deity morphing into the image of me. I began to think that if we are all one big infinite force....then the total force has an immeasurable amount of dimensions or levels....sort of stacked on and through each other. This began my understanding of the subtle 'wavelengths' which we normally don't recognize because of cultural training. The distinction between the 'subtlety' and the 'recognizeable' thought.....lies in our culturally learned disconnected way of viewing 'god'. We of western culture.....traditionally.....are taught that 'god' is a living being ...rather than an integral part of self. This of course....is a political defining of 'god' for it requires more adherence to its dynamic of behavior....than understanding of its definition.
In active meditation it is easy to miss the 'connection' and become attached to images of deity because when we don't have strong self-trust levels....it is simply easier to look for a 'god' or parent-figure to tell us what to do. That is like asking for an insurance policy.
Allow me to use dreams as an example....
When we encounter a situation which requires a bit of study to decide how to proceed...we always draw from our memories. If we can't find a solution we may go to a friend for opinion or advice. If time allows and we decide to "sleep on it"......we will sometimes experience a dream with a recognizeable solution through the symbolism of the dream. Other times.....we may just think about it till it drives us crazy....and then decide on some course of action.
In a dream we may create such symbolism as a father figure, or a wise old owl, or just an intelligent looking stranger, and using all sorts of 'props'....construct a situation which offers a solution. Our dream may be of a past situation which was of similar issue and by looking at it in a dream we suddenly notice a course of action.....waking up with a plan. Every dream we experience is comprised of past and present memories which we organize into short vignettes and/or long sagas when reviewing our daily lives. Thus it is us....alone.....who organize our dream into a drama with either real or random players to review any situation we choose.
Do not be misled by a need to explore the realms of gods and demons......for they are all of the same construct.....false idols. Look deeper into the pool of reflection and see your self as capable of holding a position of equality among all peoples. Accept that the intense study of your frailties hold keys to equally intense strengths. Look not at the images the mind produces for their "reality"........but instead........look only at the temporariness and predjudice of their worth. This is the true 'sword' of the spiritual warrior.

thank you for this, very enlightning. your wavelength is like my letting go of active thinking and 'feeling' my 'thoughts'... and clarity comes with that...
Dennis, I think this is just what I needed this am, especially the last paragraph. take care,
This post, I love. Not just for validating and putting into words the very thing that I feel is harmful about religions and the likes. For feeling that something outside of ourselfs will "save us" or "do it for us," leaves us in a victim situation and an "out" for taking responsibility. Although the best thing is the recognized fact that we ar eall so very connected. What a great "read" to start my day.
Thank you
I'm glad to be of assistance to all.
Salient.
btw...my verification word is * bearyoph * ... hmmm. Hey, reminds me of a cartoon: two psychiatrists pass on the street, one has just said " Good morning "...the other is stopped, looking back at him, "hmmm... I wonder what he meant by that?"
